— NPR hung out at Franklin Barbecue and talked to people waiting in the line, with a special appearance by manager Benji Jacobs. One group started waiting at 1 a.m. since they were out drinking at bars in the area anyway.

— A man robbed two Austin IHOP restaurants very early this morning, the first on South Loop 1, and the second on East Koenig Lane.
